[Verse 1]
Stolen from an African land
Chased out with a knife
With a face like Bob Marley
And a mouth like a motorbike
[Chorus]
Oh well, the bars are always open
And the time's always right
And if God's good word goes unspoken
The music goes all night
And it goes
[Verse 2]
If I were Bob Marley, I'd say, "Could you be loved?"
And if I was Half Pint, or with my Lord up above
If I was Mike Tyson, I would look for a fight
And if I was a Boomtown Rat, I would be staying up all night
If I was the king Ad-Rock, I would get stupid dumb
If rhymes were Valiums, I'd be comfortably numb
[Pre-Chorus]
But if I had a shotgun
Know what I'd do?
I'd point that shit straight at the sky
And shoot heaven on down for you
[Chorus]
Because the bars are always open
And the time is always right
And if God's good word goes unspoken
The music goes all night
And it goes

I want a lover, but I can't find the time
I want a reason, but I can't find the rhyme
And I want to start static, but I can't afford

I was chased out of the bar
I-I-I saw my best friend tonight, so
Don't push me too far
...
[Verse 5]
Woahhh
I'm gonna run come down with the new lyrics
Get hit, get hip, don't slip you knuckle heads
Racism is schism on a serious tip
You don't believe me then I'll come bust your lip, cuz
[Verse 6]
I hear the mountain, it hard to climb
Rougher the rhythm and it must be sublime
(unintelligible) it right on time
We got cricket with the quickness and the baseline it goes
...
[Outro]
Aw, people wanna come up and they wan' tell me
Smoking crack cocaine better than sinse
They're poppin' that shit 'til we're sick of it
They're tweakin' every weekend, and we just can't take it
Oh, no no no we don't want no plastic
